An important and informative website contains information and advocacy for people suffering from disabilities that do not outwardly show.
This is an especially difficult situation, since society sanctions behavior related to disabilities that are visible. When people who have an invisible disability start asking for accomodation, like any disabled person might do, they may be reviled.
These people may be very healthy to all outward appearances, but just expose them to perfume, or auto exhaust, or cigarette smoke, or new carpet, or dry cleaning fluid, or pesticide, etc... and they may have seizures, muscle loss, cognitive impairment, rashes, all kinds of problems, from minor headaches to anaphylactic shock. Then let them recover from the exposure and they look "normal" again.
With environmental illness, avoidance of the toxic substance(s) is the only cure.
But what if the toxins that affect you are literally everywhere? Where do you go? How do you live? How do you explain it to people who have no problem with what makes you terribly sick?
